Relationship between van der waal forces and the kinetic theory of gases

The Vander Waal forces are attractive forces between molecules that are caused by the
electromagnetic dipole moments that exist between them. The kinetic theory of gases is a theory
that explains the behaviour of gases in terms of the motion and interactions of their constituent
particles. While the Vander Waal forces are important in determining the behaviour of gases, they
are not explicitly included in the kinetic theory of gases. Therefore, the relationship between the
Vander Waal forces and the kinetic theory of gases is indirect. The kinetic theory of gases takes into
account the repulsive and attractive forces between particles, but these forces are not explicitly
attributed to van der Waals forces. However, the van der Waal forces play an important role in
determining the behaviour of gases, and the kinetic theory of gases must take into account these
forces in order to accurately predict the behaviour of gases.
